Arsenal are 6th in the Premier League after 23 games and it looks highly likely that they will fail to finish in the top four.

The Gunners need to strengthen their team before the closure of the winter transfer window and they are heavily linked with Gabon international and Dortmund star Aubameyang.

According to a recent report covered by Sky Italia journalist Gianluca Di Marzio on his website, Arsenal have reached an agreement (until 2021) worth €10million-a-year with the 28-year-old center forward.

The north Londoners splashed the cash to sign Alexandre Lacazette in the summer transfer window but the French international has been out of form. He has only netted 8 times in 23 league outings.

Aubameyang is one of the best finishers in the world and he has already netted 21 goals in 23 games for the German club this season. In the last campaign, the African striker scored 31 goals in 32 league appearances for Dortmund.

Di Marzio claims that the Bundesliga club are demanding a fee of €60 million euros for their prized asset and Arsenal could include Giroud in the deal to meet that asking price.

Giroud is currently out with a hamstring injury and so far, he has only started one league game for the Gunners this season.
